person for the job. Obama is certainly progressive when it comes to equality under the law, working to reduce the cost of health care by revamping the entire system, and winding down wars instead of starting them.

You forget what was going on in early 2009 in Afghanistan and why Obama deliberated and was accused as someone "dithering". Don't worry. It wasn't a progressive who said that. it was Dick Cheney.
